"Fang Jun, I would like to ask, did Chairman Bill of Microsoft also call you?" Shan Nebo turned his head and asked Fang Mingyuan again.
Yamauchi Moore couldn't believe that since Microsoft broke into the home game console industry, it would not notice the buying frenzy caused by "Onimusha"!You know, "Onimusha" was released in both Japanese and English versions to cater for the huge overseas buyers.In that case, the person in charge in this area would be too incompetent.
And if Microsoft has also noticed the super high sales volume of "Onimusha", then the person most likely to contact Fang Mingyuan is Bill, the chairman of Microsoft. He has a good relationship with Fang Mingyuan, which is no secret now.
Fang Mingyuan nodded slightly and said, "President Yamauchi, your mind is still so sharp. Yes, Bill called me before you arrived."
Momo Yamauchi smiled, leaned back, leaned on the sofa, looked at Jingjiro Hira who stood up, but said nothing.
Hei Jingjiro's heart immediately became cold, and now the situation is very clear, that is, if Gamestation agrees to Sony's request.Then you will face the dissatisfaction of the other three customers, and they are important customers. Although Fang Mingyuan holds the controlling stake in Gamestation, is Fang Mingyuan willing to offend those three companies for the sake of Sony?
However, he did not show the slightest bit of discouragement on the surface, and said confidently: "How do you know Fang Jun is unwilling if you don't talk about it? Our Sony company, although not the world's largest company in market value, I believe there are some unique ones. It’s something that other companies don’t have.”
The corners of Yamauchi Bo's mouth turned up slightly. He has also been fighting in the business world for decades. Naturally, it is not hard to hear what Hejingjiro said.Undoubtedly some lack of confidence.Too.Although it is said that Microsoft is just a junior who has just broken into the home game console industry, in essence, no company dares to underestimate it.Backed by Microsoft's billions of dollars in annual profits and powerful technology. Where will the xbox go.No one dared to say.
"President Pingjing. Let's talk this way! President Yamauchi and Director Uda, please wait a moment. Xiaoya and Rongrong, take care of your two distinguished guests." Fang Mingyuan laughed.Then he turned around and walked out, Hei Jingjiro was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly followed.
Uda Naka and Yamauchi Tomari glanced at each other, with a hint of smile in the corner of their eyes.In their view, with Tomari Yamauchi's words, Sony's hope of successfully winning the follow-up work of "Onimusha" can be said to be shattered.The most, the most, is to strive for a starter. In that case, it is nothing to the other three companies.
Momo Yamauchi was proud of himself. Even if Sony still got the exclusive rights to the "Onimusha" series of games in the end, then he would have to pay more than expected for what he said just now. He was just talking too much. With a few words, Fang Mingyuan was given a big favor.As for whether Sony's management will hate him, he already had this awareness when Nintendo broke the contract and dumped Sony.Anyway, if you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry about it, and if you have too many lice, you don’t itch!
Today's gamestation company is also a company that Nintendo has to please. Who let the copyright of "Pokemon", the ace game on Nintendo's handheld, fall into its hands.No one expected that Fang Mingyuan would set a series of astonishing records after the tasteless works fell into Fang Mingyuan's hands.At that time, the sales volume of "Pokemon" exceeded [-] million sets. If it wasn't because it was a handheld game, otherwise, it would have been able to compete with console games such as "Resident Evil", "Final Fantasy", and "Dragon Quest". Compete.
Gamestation also took advantage of this upsurge to launch a series of follow-up games, extending to animation, comics, battle cards and many peripheral products, and even launched a theatrical version of the animated film, which was promoted to all parts of the world and became a global Famous cartoon character.
Taking Pikachu as an example, it has become the third largest cartoon idol in Japan after Doraemon and Hello Kitty. In the United States, Pikachu ranked thirteenth in the "50 Most Popular Cartoon Images" selection, even surpassing Disney's Some traditional cartoon characters.Today, "Pokemon" has become one of the most valuable brands in the history of the game industry. There are more than a thousand companies worldwide authorized to produce "Pokemon" related products, with tens of thousands of products.According to some media statistics, "Pokemon" has generated nearly one trillion yen in revenue since its launch, and among them, Gamestation, the copyright owner of "Pokemon", has naturally obtained a huge amount of enviable profits. Benefit.
People in the industry generally believe that as the influence of "Pokemon" in Japan and the world continues to expand, it emphasizes the fun of collecting and exchanging. , as long as the gamestation company does not get its head in the water and manages seriously, the "Pokemon" craze can last for another ten years, or even decades!
Thinking of this, Nintendo felt extremely heartbroken. Originally, Nintendo could calmly face the challenges of Sega, Sony and Microsoft by relying on the considerable profits of "Pokemon" and handheld devices. "Pokemon" could completely It became a cash cow for Nintendo, but the gamestation company picked it up first.
This is the answer to that sentence, there was an opportunity in front of your eyes, but you didn't cherish it!
Fang Mingyuan and Jingjiro didn't go very far. The two came to the courtyard and walked casually along the path in the courtyard.
"President Ping Jing, does your company still want to monopolize the successor of "Onimusha"?" Fang Mingyuan smiled.The arrival of Uda Zhong and the others saved him a lot of trouble. If Sony is really sincere, it should also understand that Fang Mingyuan will not be able to give enough compensation to Gamestation, at least the three companies of Sega Corporation. explain.
"I think!" Hei Jingjiro said bluntly, "I just don't know what Fang Jun wants us to exchange?"
"I want Columbia Pictures? Will you give it?" Fang Mingyuan laughed.In recent years, Columbia has been continuously cooperating with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, coupled with the new leader's command, it has gradually got out of the predicament of the year, and its annual profits have increased.If Hong Kong Kumho Film Group can annex Columbia Film Company, then Hong Kong Kumho Film Group will undoubtedly have a more stable position in the film industry.Of course, this was just Fang Mingyuan's thinking.It is impossible for Sony to sell Columbia Pictures.The leader of Sony Corporation has clearly stated that the future Sony Corporation will focus on the four major fields of electronics, games, entertainment, and finance.
Hei Jingjiro was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Fang, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is no longer under Columbia. Could it be that its goal is to become the world's largest film company?"
Fang Mingyuan shrugged slightly and said, "Soldiers who don't want to be marshals are not good soldiers. Is there anything strange about that?"
Hei Jingjiro pondered for a moment. To be honest, Fang Mingyuan's proposal was somewhat unexpected. He originally thought that what Fang Mingyuan would propose was to continue to acquire some important technologies from Sony in order to improve the technological level of his industries.
"Fang Jun, it is impossible for the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group to acquire Columbia, but if Fang Jun intends to take a stake in Columbia, we welcome it." Hei Keijiro laughed.
Fang Mingyuan immediately stopped, turned his head and glanced at Hei Jingjiro, if he personally took a stake in Columbia Company, who would be compensating whom?
"We can give Mr. Fang [-]% of the shares as a gift. If Mr. Fang feels that the shares are too small, he can increase his holdings up to [-]%. How about it?" Hejingjiro said.A [-]% stake does not affect Sony's control over Columbia, and if Fang Mingyuan joins, let alone the future, the cooperation between Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Columbia will be closer. Columbia is very envious of Kingfisher Film Group, DreamWorks Films, and now New Line Films, who can obtain the status of co-production of super-grossing movies from Hong Kong Kumho Film Group.Although, over the years, Columbia Company has also obtained many scripts from Fang Mingyuan, and these scripts have achieved very good box office results, but compared with "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings", it is heaven. underground.
If Fang Mingyuan himself became a shareholder of Columbia Corporation, he naturally had to think more about himself.Although the value of [-]% of the shares is high, it is nothing compared to Fang Mingyuan's influence in Hollywood and even the global film industry!Hei Keijiro believes that as long as the news spreads, Columbia's stock price will immediately skyrocket.That small loss can be quickly made up for in the stock price.And in terms of long-term interests, it is also of great benefit to Colombian companies.
"Three percent? Ten percent? Hehe..." Fang Mingyuan shook his head with a smile. The old guy's calculations are really good. If that's the case, Sony won't suffer at all. Why does he think the other party Still earned!
"Mr. Fang, if you think there are too few, can you discuss it again!" Hei Jingjiro noticed Fang Mingyuan's expression, and quickly added another sentence. (To be continued..)
